Movement in the Earth’s tectonic plates indirectly triggers bursts of biodiversity in 36‑million-year cycles by forcing sea levels to rise and fall, new research has shown. Researchers including ...

More than 40 years ago, pioneering tectonic geophysicist J. Tuzo Wilson published a paper in the journal Nature describing how ocean basins opened and closed along North America's eastern seaboard.

Earth’s history has always been a story told through the fossilized remains of long-extinct creatures. For centuries, scientists have used these remnants to piece together the planet’s geological ...

Scientists discovered Earth’s episodic squishy lid shows intermittent tectonic activity. (Image: Nature Communications (2025)) Scientists have discovered a surprising new way planets can recycle heat.

Yale geophysicists reported that Earth’s ever-shifting, underground network of tectonic plates was firmly in place more than 4 billion years ago — at least a billion years earlier than scientists ...

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants can ...
